（单词翻译:单击）

A LAMP, soaked with too much oil and flaring1 brightly, boasted
that it gave more light than the sun.  Then a sudden puff2 of wind
arose, and the Lamp was immediately extinguished.  Its owner lit
it again, and said:  "Boast no more, but henceforth be content to
give thy light in silence.  Know that not even the stars need to
be relit"
